Pictures of your little boys make my heart swoon. I bet it’s never a boring day at your household with those two little guys running around!! I used to live in SD for 5 years, and I miss it SO MUCH! I love reading your blog and getting dinner ideas. Broccoli roast has been on regular rotation for the past few weeks. Now I’m giving this icecream a try. Perhaps if you blended in some vanilla greek yogurt it will help add creaminess to the icy texture? hmm. I will report back with my findings 🙂

If you add a frozen banana or even just a half it woudl totally help with texture. 🙂 Or yes, the Greek yogurt too. If I didn’t have darn dairy issues I’d be all over that. Yes, keep me posted on your findings. He he!

YAY! I’m SO HAPPY you and your boys went for ice cream in your pj’s:).

Umm, this post had me drooling aaall over my key pad . Seriously. I really want to try this badly, hmm I wonder if my magic bullet could handle ice cubes? If not, I think ill need to invest in a higher powered blender- this looks too good to pass up! And I love all your add-ins and muffiny combos- I think you are The Queen of healthy ice cream sundaes.

I hadly ever have ice cream these days. But I used to always like mint choc chip, Haagen Daz(spelling?) Cookies & cream and strawberry sorbet. I bet your/Katies ice cream would be good with frozen strawbs in it too.
Xxx

Let me know if your Magic Bullet works. It should, you might just have to defrost things a bit first. Um…. I really think you should invest in a high power blender though. It will change your life. Ha!

Ive always added butter extract to my ice cream/smoothies to give that cake batter taste! I use vanilla along with it (vanilla nut is great but hard to find). I love black walnut, caramel and the peanut butter extracts too. If you wanted a creamier and less icy texture,, have you thought of adding guar and xanthan gums? If I don’t, mine are more icy and I prefer the ice cream texture! For my “ice cream” I use a little almond milk, 120 g fat free cottage cheese, 20 g fat free cream cheese, 1 dropper French vanilla stevia (or sweetener to taste), and 200 g frozen peaches. Oh and 1/8 tsp each of guar and xanthan gum. I put in my Ninja and blend til smooth (add a bit more milk usually). For about 185 calories, I have this large serving of “ice cream”!! Sugar free cheesecake pudding mix is another awesome add in!
Sorry for the novel – I know you didn’t ask for reader recipes 😉
But I read (and follow on IG) and love your recipes!

Missy- this recipe sounds fabulous. I haven’t added the gums to ice cream, but maybe I should. I’ve added them to smoothies before. I used to make “ice cream” with Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding mix all the time, but since this whole nondairy thing came about I’ve had to switch things up a bit. 🙂 I better keep a look out for those other extracts. You are good lady! 🙂

My favorite icecream flavor…oh gosh…there are too many to name honestly. I’m a sweets addict. Cake batter and chocolate chip cookie dough are some of my favorites right off the top of my head! I want to try this icecream ASAP, especially topped w/ your “frostings” 😀

mmmmm! I’ve been all over anything ice cream lately. I usually do a frozen protein powder/greek yogurt/almond milk mixture and then blend. It’s the real deal! I just switch up my protein flavors and get a ton of variety. Cookies and Cream flavor has been a go-to! Speaking of Baskin Robbins, my family and I would go there once a week when I was younger. My all time favorite kind to get there was birthday cake batter. It had legit pieces of cake mixed in. Man i wish i had some right now!

Can I just come live with you? I’ll watch the boys while you make us all ice cream? (and by “us” I’m including your boyfriend, Bob). Okay, good. I’ll be there soon. Haha and also, do you think this would work with a magic bullet?

Ok that dessert looks amazing (and BIG) but that’s what I love about you, you like big desserts as much as I do:). I love eating healthy but my husband always makes fun of me ifI hardly eat any dinner but then eat a HUGE serving of dessert. I didn’t realize you were still teaching PE on Friday’s. What grade level were you teaching? Enjoy the summer break. We just got done with school yesterday so summer is officially here for us too!

I LOVE Grandma’s Cake Batter Tillamook Ice Cream. Do they sell Tillamook ice cream in stores in CA? It is seriously the BEST! I consider myself an ice cream snob too because I love it and have tried most ice cream but if its not super tasty then its not worth it to me. However, with your dairy problems it might not be the best thing for you to eat:(. Sorry.

I don’t know if they sell TIllamook ice cream here. I’ll have to look. Enjoy YOUR summer break!!! 🙂 I teach 1st through 8th grade. I used to just teach middle school though. Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Happy first day of summer vacation 🙂 Today is my last day of work before I start my one-year maternity leave and I am beyond excited! I may have to make a little ice cream to celebrate since I can’t get my favourite flavour out here on the West Coast – Moon Mist is this fruity, bubble gummy, yumminess that reminds me of childhood, I always make a point to get some when I visit my hometown.

You must really love that stuff if you go through all that trouble to make it everyday! I never was big on sweets or ice cream. I’m so boring, I just want plain yogurt. But now I DO want expired sprinkles…can’t find them in the store 😉 lol

A girl after my very own heart! This is my favorite kind of dessert (frozen and LOTS of it!). I’ve been making Katie’s ice cream, with crap tons of add-ins, all the time since it started getting hot out. Love the frozen frosting idea! Gotta try it!

Oh wow! This ice cream looks SO good. I am going to have to buy ice trays now. My favorite ice cream is Better Batter at Maggie Moo’s, but I love any cake-flavored ice cream. It’s like the best of both worlds 😉

Okay, I finally tried it. And I did not use ice cube trays, so my consistency was off. But more than that–mine was GREEN! Was anyone else’s green? Why was mine green? This is my first week experimenting with almond milk (I have the unsweetened Silk almond milk)–could that have turned it green?

Green? That’s weird. I want to try making it green on purpose though actually by adding spinach sometime. Ha. Did you add too much vanilla or something maybe? Mine sometimes turns a weird yellow color, but never green. Hmmmm….. The consistency is a bit tricky. Mine is different every time.

Hi there! I recently discovered your blog and wanted to say a huge “thank you!!” for all of the recipe ideas. (I am definitely a volume eater so I adore all of your low calorie but BIG PORTION ideas) Also wanted to say I love your personality and writing style and feel really inspired when I read your posts. I’ve tried this ice cream a couple of times now and I’m having trouble with my blender wanting to blend/crush the cubes. I have a Cuisinart that CLAIMS to be able to crush ice, but mix keeps getting stuck under the blades and even when I add some liquid it still doesn’t want to blend, so I’m usually stuck with a more “icy” texture and my blender screaming bloody murder (it’s crazy loud) while nothing happens. Any tips? I’m starting to get tempted to buy a Vitamix…though they look pricy. Recommendations for models, if I do? Thanks again! And by the way, the frozen frosting is AMAZING.

Well….. I use my Vitamix and it still sometimes takes awhile to get the right consistency. You might want to try adding a frozen banana. It helps a lot with the texture. I have the 5200 and love it. I think that’s as basic as you get. Totally worth it. I use it EVERY DAY!!!!! 🙂
PS- I love your name. And thank you so muhc for the nice compliments. 🙂

Update! I was able to finally achieve the same consistency as you. I started in my blender to crush the ice, then transferred to my mini food-processor and whipped it up in batches there. Two machines is a bit much, but soooo worth it until I can convince my hubby to buy me a Vitamix 🙂 I also added in xanthan gum and it helped a lot!

OH. MY. ICE. CREAM. DELICIOUSNESS. Seriously, you rock lady! I have done the freeze in trays and blend and it rocks!! Where in the world did you get those adorable ice cube tray covers??? I want some! 😀
